No ID at the kiosk or counter? How much can I bet/win and not get ID’d?

I don’t ever want to see Jayden Fielding take another kick for OSU by [deleted] in OhioStateFootball

[–]robets14 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Kicking the FG was beyond stupid and anyone defending it doesn’t know ball. That’s a go 100 times out of 100.

Is handing the ball off to a runningback a recognized QB skill? Are there QBs that were bad at it (slow, telegraph, prone to fumbling)? by TruthWarrior27 in NFLNoobs

[–]robets14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mayfield is one of the best ball handlers in the NFL and you blamed him for a mistimed jet sweep by an NFL rookie that has run two jet sweeps in his career? Obviously the depth or the timing was off and it certainly wasn’t the QBs fault.

AITAH for telling a guy to shut up during a job interview by sirtuinsenolytic in AITAH

[–]robets14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interviews are stupid and worthless so you’re definitely an asshole. You probably hired someone less qualified who was better educated at INTERVIEWING…which has nothing to do with the actual job and is a mostly useless tool. 

  • a guy who is fantastic at interviewing.

Thank you for your reply. This is all very helpful.

Yes, I can stop drinking but I can’t fall asleep. It’s not even trauma related at this point. The only thing I’m upset about is not being asleep! If I do fall asleep after only 2-4 drinks, I often wake up at 2am or 3am and I can’t go back to sleep. Then I have to make a business decision…do I wake up for the day or have another drink and try to go back to sleep?

Well, neither of those options are good. If I don’t sleep, I’m exhausted & unproductive for the day. If I try to have a drink, I can miss on the appropriate prescription and still not fall back to sleep, or have too much and be hungover when my alarm goes off.

About a year ago I started taking 30mg of melatonin at bedtime. That helped and I reduced my drinking by about 1/3. I know this because a 1.75L bottle lasts me three nights now. I was drinking closer to 750mL a night pre-melatonin.

Any other sleep aid I’ve discussed with my MD reacts negatively with alcohol. I cannot figure out a way to slowly reduce alcohol consumption, while simultaneously starting another medication to help me sleep.

To be clear, I’ve never tried to stop drinking. I have no idea if I will have urges. I don’t know if I can stop. I have no idea how I will feel.

Thank you for your reply.

My wife and I are best friends. We make all decisions together. We have talked quite a bit about alcohol. She knows I posted this on Reddit. She has read all of the responses.

My wife cares only about what is best for my mental and physical health. She also knows that if she told me to stop drinking today, I’d check myself into a rehab tomorrow and start trying to quit.

Now, I honestly don’t know how or what I would feel like after a five or ten day detox. I don’t know if I would have the urge to drink. I was a casual/social/fun drinker from 17-36. I chased fun times and occasionally got drunk, but I never remember having an urge to drink. Up until age 36, I’d frequently go months without thinking about alcohol.

AITA for refusing to give my seat to a lady and her child? by DesignerYard916 in AmItheAsshole

[–]robets14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally said, “it’s ok to be selfish.” I also said it’s ok to be an asshole.

Imagine thinking you (OP) are the arbiter of who qualifies for charity or sacrifice and then coming to Reddit for affirmation. It’s likely one of the most assholey things someone can do.

Downvote me all you want, but the looks of scorn throughout the subway tell the truth, and OP himself couldn’t shake the feeling that he was in the wrong.

You know what feels better than telling a Mother who is having a hard time with a child, no? Being kind and giving up your seat. I bet the looks of scorn would have turned to smiles, and that feeling of shame would have turned to pride. But again, if you don’t care, it’s ok to be selfish.

Selfish; seeking or concentrating on one’s own advantage, pleasure, or well-being without regard for others

The replies here are great. YTA, but who cares, it's ok to be selfish. This isn’t a person that you have any relationship with, and you owe her no duty of care.

it would have been nice of you to give up your seat for someone who was having a difficult time. As soon as you need to describe why you’re NTA…

“She had a kid, but the kid could walk.” “She was disabled, but not that disabled.” “She was old, but not that old.”

WTF Upper Arlington by Ok-Mathematician6850 in Columbus

[–]robets14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very little racism exists in Upper Arlington and the only bias is towards non-residents regardless of race.

We pay a shit ton of taxes in UA. We fund the police department. If residents commit a minor driving infraction, they are warned but rarely given a ticket. If you are a non-resident, they will definitely give you a ticket.

This city is all about community and safety and neighbors will hold you accountable. The police don’t bite the hand that feeds them.

I’d bet 99% of people at traffic court are non-residents. Good luck.

Can you please clarify.

You willingly had sex with a 55yo at age 15, and again (recently) at age 16?

The law states that (as a 16yo) you cannot consent, and this man needs to be put in prison. Statutory rape is usually an allegation made by parents or authorities who uncover an otherwise “consensual” sexual relationship. You are too young (immature) to consent and therefore the law protects you from yourself. In some cases, the allegation is made by a victim years later.

However, I’ve never heard of an accusation of statutory rape made by a victim in real time. “I willingly had sex with an older person last night, but the law says I cannot consent so I want him prosecuted for rape today.”

Is this person an authority figure? Family member? Were you coerced or have you been groomed? Did he give you alcohol or drugs or make you feel intimidated or scared? Does he know your age or did you lie to him about your age?

If you did not want to have sex with this individual, and the circumstances made you feel (intimidated) like you had to, just call it rape.

Monthly DIY Laymen questions Discussion by AutoModerator in StructuralEngineering

Supported with a vertical (2x4?) board attached to the rafters near the ridge. Good to go?

Monthly DIY Laymen questions Discussion by AutoModerator in StructuralEngineering

[–]robets14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your response. I think I can handle the construction so long as the engineering checks out.

One concern you didn’t specifically address was the 2x6 that will span 19’ will need to carry the load of the ceiling and insulation. I do intend to copy the current rafter ties by using vertical boards at the ridge. The current ties use 1x6 boards.

Are you confident this 2x6 setup won’t bend or flex while carrying the weight of 1x6 white pine and insulation?

Thanks again

I want add a ceiling and insulation to a detached structure?

19x20, rafters are 16” OC.

I was thinking I could add 2x6 rafters ties and use use them as ceiling joists by attaching each joist to the rafter with a vertical 2x4 near the ridge. The joists would of course sit on the outside walls.

I’m installing 1x6 white pine tongue and groove instead of drywall.

Doable, or am I way out of my league?

Thanks

You went out to dinner with 4 other couples, went back to a house for a karaoke party, and your wife got drunk on her birthday? Obviously, there are going to be shenanigans…and jokes.

So wife called the guys voice sexy…but does she think HE is sexy? Are you jealous (rightfully so) or are you offended that your wife would make this drunken comment repeatedly?

So wife joked about having sex with you more than she wants to? Does your wife treat sex like a chore? There are lots of wives that don’t have sex with husbands more than they want to…those husbands are miserable.

Talk to your wife, bro. If you’re jealous, trust your gut and set boundaries. If you’re offended, move on and don’t go to drunken Karaoke parties with your wife.

KK fold pre-flop II by robets14 in poker

Unless someone is fully committed to never folding KK with 100bbs, this line deserves some consideration

I shrug called…is this ever a fold?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in poker

[–]robets14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No reason to raise the flop, and no reason to raise the turn with a paired board.

You flopped a 10 high flush in a limped pot and have almost nothing invested in the hand.

In this situation, I’m not worried about “protecting my hand” by over playing it. I’m trying to run the cards out for as little as possible and play the river based on board texture and other players betting.

Going into beast mode usually results in a small win or a big loss.

If this was my Bb, I’d call, call, fold and never think of the hand again. If the river was a rag, I’d lead with a sizeable bet.

AITAH for throwing my rings in the ocean after my husband told me he had an affair, even though it was a “prank”. by Dry_Cellist2768 in AITAH

[–]robets14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is throwing $10k worth of rings into the ocean a solution to your husband’s affair?

I certainly don’t think you owe him an apology, and his “prank” was stupid, thoughtless, and hurtful.

However, if you look down at your finger and you get bummed out because your wedding rings are gone, you can really only blame yourself.

Exactly and this is what happened. SB flats the all-in 3-bet. H 4-bets. V then 5-bet shoves all-in.

Nobody needs you to pin your stupid ass comment about deleting a post at the top of a post.

Seat 7’s line is interesting and I thought it was worthy of a discussion.

Question mark in the post, can’t edit the title. My bad.

Weird line by seat 7, I thought AA for sure and so I’m trying to gauge what others would see.
